all about Madonna

What does a megastar need when she’s under the weather? Why, a little ego-stroking, of course…
And Madonna’s pals have been doing just that since the singer fell off her horse this week.
Stuart Price, who produced her new album Confessions On A Dancefloor, sent snaps of fans dancing to her tunes in Ibiza to cheer her up.
A spy says: “Stuart DJ’d at Thursdays at Space and played some tracks.
“The floor went wild so he sent some pics on his phone to her saying: ‘Here’s 1,000 people going mad to your tune!’ She loved it.” Well, it sure beats grapes…

Pop star Madonna has vowed a return to horseriding as soon as she recovers from a fall that left her with several broken bones. The singer said she was “grateful and overwhelmed by everyone’s good wishes” since the accident on Tuesday.
“As soon as doctors give me the okay, I expect to be right back on a horse and riding again,” the 47-year-old singer told The Sun newspaper. Madonna fell from her horse on the grounds of her West Country estate.
The horse was a birthday present given to her that day by film director husband Guy Ritchie.
The singer, who is planning to release a new album in November, is recovering from her injuries at Ashcombe house, on the border of Wiltshire and Dorset.
Madonna’s UK spokeswoman, Barbara Charone, said the accident would not delay the new album’s release.
Madonna and Guy Ritchie bought Ashcombe House in 2001
“Her LP is finished and is on course to come out in November with a single prior,” she told the BBC News website. The pop star is also planning to go on tour next summer.
Madonna sustained three cracked ribs, a broken collar bone and a fractured hand after falling from her horse.
She was treated in hospital in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
The musician’s US spokeswoman Liz Rozenberg said she had been riding for four of five months and spent “a lot of time” horseriding while in the country.

Hot on the heels of Madonna’s horse riding accident this week at her English country estate come more details about her new club-friendly album.
Confessions On A Dancefloor, due Nov. 15, sees Madge working closely with her British keyboardist Stuart Price — from her last two tours — who also goes by DJ Jacques Lu Cont at night, reports Rolling Stone.
R.S. says Madonna approached Price after last year’s Re-Invention Tour when she began working on a music-driven screenplay and brought him on board to create a sound she calls “future disco.”
“We live real near each other in London, and we could just send ideas back and forth and get together and work on stuff,” Price told R.S. “The creative process was very short. There were a couple of weeks in London at my studio where we were doing a song every day.”
Then Price says at night he would test out the tracks at his club gigs.
“Whenever I was DJing, I’d take dub or instrumental versions out with me. I had my camera with me, and the next day I’d tell Madonna, ‘This is what a thousand people in Liverpool looked like last night dancing to our song.’ ”
Confessions is Madonna’s tenth studio album and the followup to 2003’s American Life.
The first single is the uptempo synth-disco jam Hung Up.

After sustaining several broken bones on Tuesday in a horseback-riding accident at her country estate in Ashcombe, just outside London, Madonna is “not feeling too bad and is recovering well,” her spokesperson Liz Rosenberg told MTV News.
The singer, who turned 47 on Tuesday, was rushed to the nearby Salisbury District Hospital, where she was treated for three cracked ribs, a broken collarbone and a broken hand. Rosenberg said that Madonna took a spill while riding a horse she was unaccustomed to.
“The whole family was out in the country, celebrating her birthday,” she told The Associated Press. “She’s walking and talking, [but] I don’t know if she’s going to be hanging from a disco ball anytime soon.”
Madonna’s husband, director Guy Ritchie, drove her to the hospital, which released her Tuesday night.
While Madonna’s required recovery period is as yet undetermined, her record label does not anticipate any delays in the release or promotional activities for her forthcoming album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, due November 15. The album is “very, very close to completion,” Rosenberg said.

British film-maker Guy Ritchie is looking for a new star to light up the premiere of his new movie Revolver, because his wife Madonna’s horse-riding accident has forced her to pull out. Ritchie had recruited the Like a Virgin singer to take part in a poker match at the after party for next month’s exclusive screening of the gambling film.
But Madonna’s injuries, which include a broken hand, collar bone and three cracked ribs, are too severe for her to participate. A source tells British newspaper The Independent, “An online poker firm wanted to sponsor a celebrity card table at the premiere of Revolver. “It would have been a cracking photo opportunity, but Madonna will do well to turn up at all now – let alone play poker.”

The singer was rushed to a local hospital in Salisbury by film director Ritchie yesterday and later discharged. She is due to release her new album “Confessions on a Dancefloor” in November. Charone said she did not expect Madonna’s injuries, which will take weeks to heal, to affect the launch or promotion of the record. “As far as I know, nothing’s been affected,” Charone said.

It has been reported today that Madonna has turned down a multi-million dollar deal to star in her own Las Vegas show.
Madge reportedly turned down a massive $82 million to appear in a show at a leading Las Vegas casinowell that’s just peanuts to her innit?
According to the New York Post, the offer came from Jack Wishna, one of the biggest players on the strip.
Being in your own show in Vegas is seen by many in the industry as the grave yard of stars, not that that should worry the sprightly Ms Ciccone who celebrates her 47th birthday today.
Madonna’s new album “~Confessions On A Dancefloor’ is scheduled for release in November.
